BRITNEY SPEARS hopes to dump Michael Jackson from the top of the
album charts this week.

She'll go up against Jacko's Invincible today when she
releases her self-titled third album, Britney.

To celebrate her new release, here is Britney's exclusive
track-by-track rundown of her new album for OTR:

1 - I'm A Slave For You

It's talking about me just wanting to go out and forget who I
am and dance and have a good time. That's kinda where I am now
right now. I love working, but at the same time, I love having a good
time.

2 - Overprotected

This is a song I can relate to on a personal basis, because I feel
kind of overprotected. When I want to go out, everything has to be
organised in advance. I think that other kids of my age can relate to it
to a certain extent.

3 - Lonely

This is an attitude song. I mean, we played around with that a lot
in the studio. At the very last minute, we put a rap on it. It's
just real funky, different and I've never done a rock song like
this before, so it's one of my favourites. It's a different
Britney, I think.

4 - I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman

Max Martin wrote this and it's a personal song about that
transitional stage in life. A woman has all the wisdom that she needs
and I'm right in between right now. I'm almost a woman.
It's a beautiful song.

5 - Boys

This is my favourite from the album. It's really cool.
It's got that kinda Prince feel to it, it's very hard in your
face and it's very sexual, talking about you guys out there, haha.

6 - Anticipating

It's just a fun song that I wrote. It's just like being
with your girlfriends and just dancing. I think this track also has a
very Seventies' feel to it.

7 - I Love Rock 'n' Roll

They asked me to sing karaoke in the movie Crossroads and I've
actually sung I Love Rock 'n' Roll in a lot of clubs that
I've been to.

8 - Cinderella

I co-wrote this with Max Martin. It's the first song I ever
wrote with him and it's cool. He's a brilliant man and
he's the king of writing pop songs.

9 - Let Me Be

Let Me Be is talking about being in a relationship and the guy is
overbearing and you want to be your own person.

10 - Boombastic Love

This is not R&B, it's just pure pop and there's
definitely a catchy hook in it. It's very cute.

11 - That's Where You Take Me

I wrote about my boyfriend. It's very dreamy and melodic. The
beginning is very slow and then it comes up and there's a two-step
for the chorus, which changes the bass. It's sweet.

12 - What It's Like To Be With Me

It's talking about being in a relationship where the guy
thinks he knows the girl inside and out and he tries to take advantage
of her.
